Oprah admitted she did use weight-loss medication for her dramatic body transformation – after previously denying she would ever take Ozempic or similar drugs to lose weight (seen right in 2019)
She now acknowledged that she has been using weight-loss medication for her dramatic body transformation, a reversal from her previous denial of using Ozempic or similar drugs to lose weight.
Last month, she said ‘I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing’ – though she did not name the drug that she uses, and said she was ‘done with the shaming’.
‘The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.’
